β€œThe Tanoura show was the highlight of our whole Dubai trip. The buffet had plenty of choice, the crew were warm and attentive, and the views of Ain Dubai lit up at night were stunning. Boarding was smooth and everything ran exactly on time. A wonderful evening we will not forget.”

β€œThe luxury dhow is worth every dirham. Smaller crowd, better food, and the open deck at night with the Marina lights is unforgettable. Booking on WhatsApp took two minutes.”

β€œTravelled with my wife and two kids (6 and 9). The crew looked after the children really well and the upper deck was perfect for photos of the Marina skyline. Food was fresh with good vegetarian options. Great value for AED 79 - we have already recommended it to friends back home.”
